Nice shrimp! Looks like it's doing great as it's happily filtering.

Haha, my initial reaction was "Holy Shit!" because for a second I thought the leaf in the 2nd picture was a hand and finger pointing at the shrimp.

Re: Atya gabonensis
I agree it is a nice looking shrimp. You can also see it is safe to keep with much smaller shrimp, I see the bees/bumblebees in the last picture
Newjohn is right about the language, we have some younger members and other's who prefer not to be exposed to it.
Thanks.
